To study metabolism of purines in patients with hyperuricemia who have the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and other disorders. To characterize variant HGPRT enzymes, genes and the phenotypes of patients in whom they are found. To characterize the nature of metabolic abnormality and its molecular site in patients with hyperuricemias other than those involving HGPRT and to study transmission of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and the mutation rate for x-linked lethal gene using heterozygote detection.
